چکیده
The in-vitro activities of four anticancer alkyllysophospholipids, ET-18-OCH3 (edelfosine), hexadecylphosphocholine (miltefosine), ilmofosine and SRI 62-834, were determined with ED50 values for Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes between 0.2 and 5.0 microM and for Trypanosoma brucei trypomastigotes between 7.0 and 50.8 microM. In BALB/c mice miltefosine and ilmofosine were the most active compounds with ED50 values of 2.9 and 14.5 mg/kg x 5 doses against L. donovani and a suppressive effect on T. cruzi infections at 30 mg/kg x 5 doses.

Antiprotozoal activity of 1-phenethyl-4-aminopiperidine derivatives.
A series of 44 4-aminopiperidine derivatives was screened in vitro against four protozoan parasites (Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania donovani, and Plasmodium falciparum). This screening identified 29 molecules selectively active against bloodstream-form T. b. rhodesiense trypomastigotes, with 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) ranging from 0.12 to 10 microM, and ...

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Khaya species, endemic to Africa and Madagascar, continues to be valuable in indigenous traditional medicine. Their bitter tasting barks are decocted to treat fevers, several febrile conditions, microbial infections and worm infestations. In the Budongo rain forest of Western Uganda, non-human primates, especially chimpanzees and baboons, have been observed to eat...

A small series of 5-nitro-2-aminothiazole-based amides containing arylpiperazine-, biphenyl- or aryloxyphenyl groups in their core were synthesized and evaluated as antitrypanosomatid agents. All tested compounds were active or moderately active against Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes in infected L6 cells and Trypanosoma brucei brucei, four of eleven compounds were moderately active against Leish...
متن کاملBiological action of inosine analogs in Leishmania and Trypanosoma spp.
Previous investigations have suggested that inosine analogs would be good models for the development of chemotherapeutic agents active against pathogenic hemoflagellates. We have systematically modified the five-membered heterocyclic ring of six inosine analogs and tested them for their antiprotozoal activities and toxicity to a mammalian cell line. All six analogs were very active against the ...

Two hundred and seven extracts were prepared from sixty plants from South Africa and screened for in vitro activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania donovani, and Plasmodium falciparum. For the 21 extracts which inhibited the growth of one or more parasites with more than 95 % at 10 µg/mL, the IC50 values against all four protozoal parasites and cytotoxic IC...
